文章講了一個紳士在火車上找位置，看到一個座位上有個箱子沒人。另一年輕人告訴不想給他座，故說他是朋友的，后面被紳士丟出火車，一是告訴我們做事要有禮貌，二是要友善要樂于助人而不能太自私。
1. A 此題可從A gentleman was trying to look for a place得出，找個地方在這里意為找座位。而不是找朋友或是箱子，故選A。
2. C 此題是猜詞題，我們應看下面的解釋：But a small suitcase was lying on it可知上面并沒有人，故選C，vacant空缺的。
3. A 從The young man got up and tried to catch the suitcase可知是年青人的。他這么說是因為他想把箱子放座位上，而并非真的有朋友要來。
4. B 推理題。年輕人這么說是不想讓這位紳士座，而并非真的有朋友要來，所以他不友善，沒說實情，而是在說謊，選B。
5. C 這也是推理題。故事最后講紳士把他的箱子丟出窗外，but it was too late可知他箱子沒了，選C。
